Today we went to an older place in town (in South Carolina) that had 3 bathrooms all side by side. They were labeled 2 for men and 1 for women. So my gf and I just thought it seemed strange. So we came up with one possible reason could be that it may have been built during the Jim Crow era, meaning it may have been designed with 2 for whites (male & female) and one for black that was possibly for male and female.

This could be a completely asinine hypothesis, but it did get me thinking if the designers of buildings during that time may have assumed that segregation would always be a way if life.

Just curious. Thanks.
